This lithium battery has been tso approved with a field approval for the installation. Anyone have any thoughts on the bracket configuration for retaining or the cover this battery would require.

I also took apart my old sealed concorde that was not working great anymore a couple months ago.
The water in the battery was low, it evaporated out.i ended up buying a new lead acid gill because you can top them off as needed with distilled water. Ive noticed that the key to keeping the battery lasting longer is to ALWAYS keep it on a trickle charger when not in use and keeping water topped off. The plates inside tend to “rust” (sulfonate) when not always topped off. Ive had good results with this product recovering batteries but it takes time. https://www.recovermybatteries.com/ex01-12-24-200.html On another note,This is an interesting video of a guy rebuilding a lead acid battery. It gives you a visual on how these things are built https://youtu.be/kNGg0P7B5fI?si=CPfyqDVV8Vq5csY4

Battery Source
I just bought a new Gill 242 from Boeing for $562.89 plus I had to buy acid from the installer. $127 to install the acid and put the battery in the aircraft. Boeing had many of these in stock. I received it the next day. UPS ground.
